Types of life insurance

Level Term Insurance :providing a constant death benefit amount of insurance for a specified period of time.

Decreasing Term Insurance : the face amount decreases over the term of coverage. This may be used, for example, to cover the decreasing amount of a home mortgage.

Permanent or Whole Life Insurance : this is permanent life insurance protection provided through age 100. A permanent or whole life policy accumulates cash value.

Flexible Premium or Universal Life Insurance : designed as a permanent life policy, this coverage differs from traditional permanent policies in that it allows the policy owner to vary the amount and timing of premium payments (subject to satisfying policy premium minimums to keep the policy in force), plus increase or decrease the death benefit (subject to underwriting for an increase and policy minimums for a decrease).
